The Jones Family--Dudley W., Samuel P. & Pliny W. & Rollin B. Jones
Greenwood, Clark County, Wisconsin Investors
E. T. Burch's Store
The handsome and well equipped store of E. T. Burch on Main Street, pictured above, was erected in 1895 by the Greenwood Mercantile and Manufacture Co. with E. T. Burch, Samuel P. Jones and his son-in-law, Frederick M. Taylor, as its officers, and who conducted a general mercantile business until 1902, when its present owner, E. T. Burch, bought out the interests of the parties concerned, taking full possession, and has since conducted a most thriving and praiseworthy business and is one of the most prosperous and respected merchants.
"The years 1840-41 closed upon the settlers without the occurrence of noteworthy incidents beyond those happening in a new country, excepting the arrival of Jacob Spaulding's family, which consisted of a wife and Dudley J. Spaulding, his son. She was, presumably, the first white woman to settle permanently in Jackson County, and her daughter, Mary J. Spaulding, who was born the same season, was claimed as the first birth; but this is an error. She still lives, the wife of Samuel P. Jones, one of the prominent merchants of Black River Falls. The advent of settlers into this almost undiscovered land, as elsewhere in northern Wisconsin, was not frequent in those early days. Improvements kept pace with the arrivals. But, in time, the high price of pine lumber became an inducement, and to this resulted in the building up and western portions of the county even more than the excellent farming lands of that area.
